You didn't have to crash that train Jeff Dunham. You know how much I like trains. I know how much you like puppets. I don't like your puppets but I didn't rape them. :colbert:

Insurance will pay all that out. Insurance companies don't pay for preventive maintenance. Now they have the money to fix it!

What if Tony Baloney put a delicious pizza pie on the tracks causing the train to derail so that he could then deliver free pizzas to the first responders for a great photo op

It's crazy that we're getting close to self driving cars but trains, literally on rails in closed systems, are still getting driven manually by hungover engineers getting distracted sending dick pics. Like how hard can it be to make trains autopiloting with maybe a dude standing at an emergency brake button in case a car is stopped on the tracks and the train computer didn't detect it

Trains are actually pretty complicated to drive. I'm sure a train person could elaborate but I do know there's more to it than just hitting start and stop and small mistakes can snowball into the train de-railing.

Yeah trains are about 60 times as complicated as flying a plane or driving a car. You're not dealing with simple physics, you're dealing with something that will not stop until a good 30 seconds after you tell it to. That's how I've always explained it.
